Hi Penny, We've also developed a technique similar to nominal groups but supported by technology. We've run it for evaluation, induction, policy development, placement review, reflective practice and a variety of different uses. We've used it for staff CPD as well as student learning and support. We call our technique Shared Thinking and we've developed different ways of working within and across different groups. One student said 'This is evaluation for us' which was quite striking. The students develop the issues that concern them from a discussion and then vote through the technology. The students generate the questions together (rather than having them set by a tutor). We've also run it in sessions with up to 350 students. It's a collective approach to formative assessment/evaluation. It is also measurable and you get c.100% response.
